Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be
installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.
See figure 2. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or
other means to control the flow of air) must adequately pre-
vent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper is
manually operated, it must be equipped to prevent operation
of either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full
HEAT or COOL setting. See figure 2.

NOTE − This furnace is designed for a minimum continu-
ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermit-
tent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases
where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air tem-
perature must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.

Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
Lennox does not recommend the use of ML180UHE units
as a construction heater during any phase of construction.
Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and op-
eration of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will dam-
age the unit.
